Reopened in April 2022, the historic Proveditor's Palace (Providurova palača) is the second part of a major restoration project that has taken several years to complete. The first part, the Rector's Palace, was opened in 2017. The adjoining Proveditor's Palace will, together with the Rector's Palace, now form an integrated arts-and-culture centre known a the Two Palaces (Dvije palače), holding the collections of the city museums and art galleries as well as hosting major exhibitions and concerts. The oldest parts of the Proveditor's Palace date from 1607, although it was significantly remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Proveditor was something like a "governor", the leading Venetian official who was responsible for local government and military security. Now a bright, modern space, the palace looks set to become the stunning venue for contemporary art shows and musical performances. A busy programme of events is already in place.
